Brown fur build advice needed


Advice


I have recently been playing a brown fur arcanist through levels 1-9 with great joy. This was mainly due to having my stats rolled rather than point buy, because of this I adapted a playing style unique to the rolls. Either staying out of reach and controlling the battlefield/buff party or, which has been a lot more fun recently, changing form and wading into melee.
My problem has arisen due to the dm deciding he wants to convert our stats to a 20 point buy so I come to ask for advice on how to keep my playing styles relevant and which stats do people consider would be enough for me to achieve this. I am not against dumping charisma but I am new to point but so please any advise is welcome.


Was thinking something like 15/14/13/16/9/7 dex maybe a lil low but spells like Mage armour,blur and even shield can make up a little bit. But the low fez will make it harder to hit with ranged spells so I may focus more on control such as summoning when not changing form. My constitution might be an issue but can be boosted by belts, same goes for strength for melee to hit. I am a bit wary of the will save I have though.

Any thoughts


Dex not fez


Or should I lower int more and use spells that don't rely on a save DC
